TL;DR:
● Running two surgery rooms instead of one can dramatically reduce downtime, overtime costs, and scheduling bottlenecks for surgeons.
● When your ASC has the staff and space—but not a second C-arm—Coast to Coast Radiology makes it simple.
● We deliver and set up a fully operational C-arm rental (with a technologist if needed) anywhere in Florida—often within 24 hours.
● Keep your surgeons on schedule, your staff stress-free, and your ORs running at full speed with one call.
When one C-arm slows the whole day
If you run an ASC, you already know the drill: surgeons have tightly blocked OR time, cases are pre-op’d, and then your single C-arm ties two rooms to one clock. Ten minutes here, 20 there—minor overlaps become major delays that ripple across the day, risk cancellations, and push staff toward overtime.
The fix is rarely buying another unit outright. But spinning up a second X-ray room for a day or two with a surgery X-ray rental (C-arm rental) can be a powerful release valve—keeping surgeons on rhythm and your schedule intact.
The Problem: One C-arm, two rooms, and a shrinking runway
Blocked time is unforgiving.
Surgeons can’t simply “come back later.” When two rooms share one C-arm, even small overruns domino into case stacking and late starts.
Overtime and burnout creep in.
Nurses and techs stay late to finish lists, costing overtime and eroding morale.
Breakdowns are catastrophic.
If your in-house unit malfunctions, cases are delayed or rescheduled.
Borrowing or moving cases adds chaos.
Renting at another center or moving patients offsite multiplies logistics and downtime.
The bottom line: capacity gets throttled not by staff or space—but by lack of imaging access.
When (and why) a second room pays off
- Back-to-back block days: Keep ortho or spine cases flowing without delays.
- Surgeon overlap: Two surgeons can run cases independently.
- Breakdown coverage: Replace failed units instantly, avoid cancellations.
- Trialing new service lines: Add temporary capacity without buying another C-arm.
Experts agree—consistent throughput improves both patient experience and staff satisfaction. A temporary second room delivers that efficiency without the capital expense.
The Solution: Add a second room—fast—with C-arm rental + an on-site operator
Coast to Coast Radiology helps Florida ASCs open a second fluoroscopy room on demand—for a day, a week, or longer—so surgeons keep operating and your team keeps moving.
- Guaranteed availability and delivery typically within 24 hours
- 24/7 real human response—calls go directly to the founders, not an answering service
- One call = Full OR—we coordinate equipment, techs (via Precision On Call), and repairs (via Complete Fluoroscopy)
- Emergency breakdown coverage—when your unit fails, we deliver a replacement fast
This lets your team run Room A and Room B in parallel instead of in line—protecting surgeon block time and preventing burnout.

Case Study: One ASC, Two Rooms, Zero Overtime
In one particular case, our client had two ORs but only one C-arm, with their orthopedic surgeon’s full-day schedule often spilling into overtime.
They called us to add a second room with a C-arm rental. We delivered and installed the unit within a couple of days and our experienced technologist operated the machine in Room B while the in-house tech ran Room A.
Cases ran in parallel, ending on time. The administrator avoided overtime, the staff left on schedule, and the surgeon added an extra cases to the list—all without having to buy new equipment.
